Want to Know More About the NDIS?

What is the NDIS?

The NDIS is a federally funded scheme that will provide individual funding packages for people with a disability. See here for more information.

How is my NDIS funding determined?

Eligible people are called “participants” and a planning assessment is undertaken by the National Disability Insurance Agency NDIA to identify the participant’s goals, aspirations, strengths, capacity, circumstances and context. The NDIA will use this assessment to determine how much funding they will provide. See here for more information.

How do I access NDIS funding?

Access conditions differ depending on your status. See here for more information relevant to your circumstances.

How do I manage my funding?

You can self-manage, have the NDIS hold the funds and have your providers claim payment from them, or employ an NDIS-approved plan manager. See here for more details about your options.
